Or maybe you have some code that you’d like to share between projects, but don’t want to deal with having to set up and manage an NPM package.Įnter the monorepo. Have you ever worked on a project where each app that was a part of it was in a different repository? It can be frustrating and time-consuming to deal with.

Learn about monorepos and how to set them up for your TypeScript projects using pnpm Published August 1, 2022

You can also exclude files by creating an.

You can change those globs to exclude some projects. Similar to other tools, it looks at the workspaces property in the root package.json and tries to find all package.json files matching the globs.

The add-nx-to-monorepo command does its best to figure out what projects you have in the repo. Here are some further customizations we found to be useful when adding Nx to existing monorepos.

#PNPM WORKSPACES INSTALL#

GitHub integration - Install the Nx Cloud Github App to get inline reporting on your CI jobs.Ĭheck out our dedicated guide: Lerna and Nx Further customizations.

Dedicated VSCode extension - You can install Nx Console which is a dedicated VSCode extension to provide a visual interface for navigating your monorepo workspace in terms of launching commands as well as for generating code.

Interactive workspace visualization - Nx comes with a project graph visualization built-in which you can use to interactively explore your workspace, understand dependencies and find paths between nodes and why they exist.

It even learns from previous runs to better distribute tasks! Learn more In combination with Nx Cloud your tasks are automatically distributed across CI agents, taking into account build order, maximizing parallelization and thus agent utilization.

Distributed Task Execution - This is unique to Nx.

Obviously this results in an incredible speed improvement. All operations, including artifacts and terminal output are restored from the cache (if present) in a completely transparent way without disrupting your DX.

Caching - You get Nx's computation caching for free.

Only run what changed - Using Nx affected commands you only really execute tasks on the projects that changed, compared to a given baseline (usually the main branch).

As a result, if project-a depends on project-b and you run nx build project-a, Nx first runs the builds for all of project-a's dependencies, in this specific example it builds project-b before project-a.

Parallelization and task dependencies - Nx automatically knows how your projects relate to each other.

Similarly, for running tests use nx test myproj and so on. For instance if package myproj has a build script, you can just run it using nx build myproj.

Run any npm script - with Nx installed, you can use its powerful task scheduler which automatically picks up your npm scripts from your package's script section.

This sets up Nx core in your existing monorepo which comes with a series of interesting features that help intelligenty schedule tasks and make sure operations are quick: At this point, Nx can do anything Turbo can, and much more. If you are familiar with Turborepo, check out this guide.

Create nx.json, containing all the necessary configuration for Nx.
